After Lin Long left, the few of them got up from the ground.
Looking at the broken hands on the ground, their expressions were extremely ugly.
"Who exactly is this kid? How could he hire the assassin organization to deal with us!" Someone said with an ugly expression.
"Perhaps there really is a powerful figure behind him." The other person also said the same.
As they spoke, they all looked at Mo Jian and the person who went to the Du Residence with Mo Jian.
"Don't look at me like that. Young Master Du told us personally that Lin Li is just an ordinary person with no powerful backing!" Mo Jian said with an ugly expression.
His eyes were blind, and his hand was broken. He was more resentful than the others.
"That's right, it was indeed Young Master Du who told me this personally." The person who went with him also said the same.
"Could it be that Young Master Du lied to you?" someone asked.
The person who went with Mo Jian immediately refuted, "No … How could Young Master Du …"
However, he suddenly stopped as he thought of something. He looked at Mo Jian and said, "Senior Brother Mo Jian, Young Master Du seems to have lost an arm as well!"
"What? Young Master Du also lost an arm?" Hearing his words, the surrounding people were shocked.
"Yes, Young Master Du did lose an arm," Mo Jian said.
"Young Master Du is in the same situation as us. Doesn't that mean that Young Master Du's arm was also cut off by the assassin organization?" The others could not help but look at each other.
If Du Haoran's injury was elsewhere, they could think of other possibilities. However, since he was injured like them, they could only make such a guess.
"It seems like that is the case." Mo Jian nodded.
"If we can't even deal with Young Master Du, aren't we just throwing meat buns at a dog?" The others could not help but look at each other.
"Damn it. If I knew this would happen, I wouldn't have come out to deal with Lin Li." Then, someone began to regret.
The others did not speak. If Du Haoran could only do that with a broken arm, what else could the few of them do?
"Since that is the case, why did Young Master Du tell us this? He is clearly tricking us!" The person who went with Mo Jian could not help but criticize.
"Let's go back," Mo Jian said after sighing.
After saying that, the few of them walked back dejectedly while dragging their injured arms.
The moment they entered Xie Zhe's courtyard, the people inside immediately looked at them.
"Eh? Senior brothers, what's wrong?" Someone couldn't help asking.
"When we were leaving the city, we accidentally encountered a group of bandits. We were injured in a fierce battle with them, and one of our arms was chopped off." The few of them said with ugly expressions.
"Outrageous! You don't even care about our Mo family's house!" The people inside were immediately filled with righteous indignation.
"Tell Master, let him seek justice for the seniors!" Someone immediately said.
"This … there's no need for that." Mo Jian stopped him.
They had already decided not to deal with Linlong anymore, so they naturally did not want Xie Zhe to pursue the matter.
"How can we do that? If they hurt you, it's the same as hurting us! "someone insisted.
Not only were they so persistent, but someone also quickly told Xie Zhe about it. Xie Zhe quickly came over and asked them why they were doing this.
Of course, they all said what they said just now, which meant that they were injured by the robbers.
"Where did the robbers come from? Do you remember what they look like?" Xie Zhe still persisted.
After all, Mo Jian and the others were his disciples. If he did not pursue the matter, he would lose face as an elder if word got out.
"They were all masked and didn't speak. We have no idea what they look like," Mo Jian said gloomily.
"How dare they bully me! This won't do. I have to tell the Law Enforcement Elder and let him handle this matter!" Xie Zhe said coldly.
Soon, he walked out. It was obvious that he had really gone to tell the Law Enforcement Elder.
During this process, Linlong, who was standing outside, also heard their conversation. He couldn't help but smile.
This meant that Mo Jian and the others no longer dared to do anything to him.
Over the next few days, the Mo family obviously sent people to investigate the vicinity. However, there were no robbers at all, so how could they find any clues?
This matter came to an end just like that.
Two days later, a middle-aged man with a face that resembled Du Meng's but was obviously older arrived at the Du residence.
As soon as they saw this person, the three guards of the Du residence immediately greeted him respectfully. "Greetings, Elder Du."
Elder Du nodded and said, "Is the Patriarch here?"
"The Patriarch is here. Elder Du, please come in." A disciple of the Du family immediately led the way and quickly brought Elder Du to Du Meng.
After the disciple left, Du Meng immediately said to Elder Du, "Brother, you're finally back!"
Elder Du was Du Meng's cousin, Du Xiu.
"Du Meng, what happened? Why are you in such a hurry to see me?" Du Xiu asked with a frown.
"It's like this. Haoran's arm was chopped off …."
Du Meng hadn't finished speaking when Du Xiu said in shock, "Who was so bold as to actually chop off Haoran's arm?"
"Someone hired an assassin organization to kill him!" Du Meng said.
"An assassin organization? Those fellows are really going against the heavens. They even dared to attack Haoran! "Du Xiu said coldly.
Du Meng said again, "I heard that it was the Great Leader of the assassin organization who personally gave the order!"
"The Great Leader of the assassin organization?" Du Xiu frowned again.
"I heard that the Great Leader is an elder of the Mo Family. Brother, do you know who it is?" Du Meng asked.
He thought that Du Xiu knew, but he didn't expect Du Xiu to also shake his head. "I don't know either."
"Could it be that the Great Leader listens to the Patriarch?" Du Meng couldn't help but be shocked when he heard Du Xiu's words. If it was the Patriarch, then he could only suffer in silence.
"I don't think so." Du Meng shook his head. "If I take action, they probably won't make things difficult for me."
"That's good." Du Meng couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief.
"Do you know who is related to this matter? Who was the one who requested to chop off Haoran's arm?" Du Xiu asked.
"Although there is no concrete evidence, this matter should be related to a person called Lin Li. If you don't want to look for the assassin organization directly, you should look for this person. You should be able to find the truth of the matter," Du Meng said.
"Lin Li? Who is that?"
"It's a person who just entered Mo Shi City. He doesn't seem to have any background, but Haoran seems to have suffered because of him," Du Meng said.
"Where is that person now?" Du Xiu asked.
"That person is now Elder Xie Zhe's disciple," Du Meng said.
"Xie Zhe?" Du Xiu was shocked again.
"Brother, don't worry. He is only Xie Zhe's new disciple. If you want to get him or deal with him, I believe Elder Xie Zhe will not trouble you," Du Meng said.
"That's good." Du Xiu nodded.
After a short pause, he said, "In that case, I will immediately go to Xie Zhe's place to get him!"
"Thank you, brother." Du Meng couldn't help but be happy.
"Alright, then I will go. I will bring him directly to you after I bring him out." With that, Du Xiu directly walked out.
Not long after, Du Xiu arrived at Xie Zhe's courtyard.
"Elder Du!" Seeing Du Xiu, the two disciples at the door greeted respectfully.
"Is Elder Xie Zhe in?" Du Xiu asked.
"Our master is inside. Elder Xie Zhe, please follow me." One of Xie Zhe's disciples immediately led Du Xiu in.
Not long after, Du Xiu saw Xie Zhe.
"Elder Du, what brings you here?" Xie Zhe couldn't help but smile when he saw Du Xiu.
"Elder Xie, I am here for Haoran." Du Xiu went straight to the point.
"Du Haoran? What happened to him? "Xie Zhe was a little confused.
"I heard from Patriarch Du Meng that Du Haoran's arm was chopped off …" Du Xiu said.
"What?" Hearing Du Xiu's words, Xie Zhe was naturally shocked. He immediately thought of Mo Jian and the others.
"I heard that this matter has something to do with your disciple, Lin Li. So, I want to ask you about it," Du Xiu said.
"This …" Xie Zhe hesitated for a moment, then said, "I can let you meet him."
This sentence made Du Xiu frown involuntarily. He had suggested to let Lin Long leave.
Could it be that Xie Zhe was biased towards Lin Li? He had a bad premonition in his heart.
After thinking about it, he said, "Alright."
"Then wait a moment. I will ask someone to bring him over immediately," Xie Zhe said.
Then, he immediately ordered the disciple outside to call Lin Long over.
Not long after, Lin Long arrived at Xie Zhe's room. He was a little confused when he saw Du Xiu, who was at the side. Then, he saw that Du Xiu was obviously hostile towards him.
"Lin Li, this is also an elder of our Mo Family. His name is Du Xiu," Xie Zhe introduced.
"Greetings, Elder Du," Lin Long said respectfully.
"Elder Du, if you have any questions, ask away," Xie Zhe said immediately.
Du Xiu looked at Lin Long and asked, "Lin Li, let me ask you. Do you know that Du Haoran's arm was chopped off?"
"Du Haoran's arm was chopped off? Who did it?" Lin Long asked in surprise.
"We still don't know who did it, but someone said that you have something to do with it!" Du Xiu said coldly.
"Elder Du, you are wrongly accusing me. How could I dare to chop off Du Haoran's arm?" Lin Long said.
At this moment, Du Xiu suddenly moved. He fiercely grabbed towards Lin Long.
He could tell that Lin Long wasn't strong, so he was naturally confident that he could take him down.
Who would have thought that at this moment, Xie Zhe, who was at the side, would suddenly make a move? His palm blocked in front of Lin Long in the nick of time.
Seeing Xie Zhe make a move, Du Xiu couldn't help but frown. "Elder Xie Zhe, I am only testing Lin Li to see if he has the strength to do it!"
"Elder Du, you are wrong. My disciple only has the strength of a level three warrior. How can he deal with Du Haoran?" Xie Zhe said slowly.
"Elder Xie, don't worry. I am just a little suspicious of him. Let me bring him away. If he is not suspicious, I will naturally send him back," Du Xiu said calmly.
"That won't do," Xie Zhe insisted.
"Why? Elder Xie, why are you so protective of him? Could it be that you ordered him to do this?" Du Xiu frowned.
"Elder Du, aren't you slandering me?" Xie Zhe's face turned cold. "Even if my disciple has three heads and six arms, he wouldn't dare to go against the Du Family alone!"
"In any case, no matter what, this person is very suspicious. I hope that Elder Xie will let me bring him away!" Du Xiu retorted.
"Elder Du, since you are so insistent, then show me the evidence. If you have evidence, I will let you take him away without a second word. If not, then don't blame me for being rude!" Xie Zhe said coldly.
This made Du Xiu frown even more. How could he have any evidence? He was just listening to Du Meng's family.
"Elder Xie, are you trying to go against me, Du Xiu?" Du Xiu sneered.
"Of course I wouldn't dare to go against you, but I need evidence for everything. Without evidence, how can I let him go so easily?" Xie Zhe said.
"In that case, let's ride a donkey and read a book!" Du Xiu said as he walked out. He even slammed the door when he left.
He was still a little afraid of the assassin organization, so he didn't mention it.
"Thank you, Master." Linlong couldn't help but thank Xie Zhe.
"I'll take care of Du Xiu for you, but tell me the truth. Did Du Haoran's injury have anything to do with you?" Xie Zhe frowned.
"Of course it has nothing to do with me. How could I hurt Du Haoran?" Linlong said.
He naturally couldn't understand why Xie Zhe was so protective of him. He didn't ask anyone from the assassin organization to tell him anything.
"Well, that's good." Xie Zhe nodded.
As Du Xiu didn't have any evidence, he was naturally not afraid that Du Xiu would ask the Enforcement Elder or the Patriarch to trouble him.
"However, you have to be careful in the future. Don't go out casually. Du Xiu couldn't catch you, so I'm afraid he will wait outside," Xie Zhe said.
"Yes, I will remember." Linlong nodded.
"Just remember what I said. You can go out now," Xie Zhe said.
Linlong immediately walked out.
After Linlong left, a woman came from the back of the room. It was Xie Zhe's wife. She said to Xie Zhe, "Husband, why are you so protective of this young man?"
Xie Zhe didn't want to say it, but he still said, "This young man has amazing talent in the study of Runes and Curses. I don't want such a good seedling to be harmed by Du Xiu."
"Amazing talent in the study of Runes and Curses? What do you mean?" Madam Xie was puzzled.
"You don't know, but a few days ago, this young man only touched the Sandstone Curse for a short while and he mastered it. Although the Sandstone Curse is easy to master, it's not something an ordinary person can do in such a short period of time. This shows that he's very talented!" Xie Zhe said.
"Then, it's also possible that he learned it before," Madam Xie said.
"No." Xie Zhe shook his head. "He looked at his hand gestures. His hand gestures are very rusty. It's as if he had just touched the Sandstone Curse. I think he didn't even touch the Laughter Curse for long!"
"If that's the case, then he's really talented!" Madam Xie couldn't help but exclaim.
"That's not all. There's something else that surprised me," Xie Zhe said again.
"What else surprised you?" Madam Xie was surprised again.
She knew her husband very well. If he said that, then there must be something special about Linlong.
